Liz Schmidt Director of Programs & Outdoor Initiatives Camp Name: Badger Hometown: Marcellus, NY (Go Mustangs!) Current Residence: Syracuse, NY Favorite Outdoor Activity: Making campfires! I love finding the right wood, building the teepee and tending to it once it gets going. I also love the smell of campfire lingering on my clothes and hair. So relaxing! Why She’s Excited for Camp: I love teaching the girls new things about their environment that make them say, “Wow, I never knew that!” I also love that you can be silly, sing loudly, tell crazy jokes, wear weird clothes or just be “you” and no one bats an eye at 6 camp—you can be who you truly are! You do you! Welcome to RESIDENT CAMP PROGRAMS Amahami For Beginners & Expert Campers Alike! Amahami Adventure Center is located in Deposit, NY, in the foothills of the Catskill Mountain region!
